An NFT, in very basic terms, means that it is something incredibly unique and cannot be replaced at all. Like swapping a one-of-a-kind trading card for another.

It's definitely one of the coolest NFTs we've seen to date.
Talking about their special NFT the duo said:
NFTs are like investing in us as a currency," they said. "We could make you money by holding our NFT as we gain in 'value' in our career, alongside benefits for the NFT holder like an exclusive song of ours only for you, a DJ session with us, invite to a balcony mix, and meet and greet concert tickets.
Once again we love to see South African artists taking worldwide trends and making it their own.
